Account Closed Wire Fraud Warning On Real Estate Deals
3 March 2018 | 7 replies
I am thinking once it hits the bad guys account they have within 30 seconds moved it off shore.this all started when title companies would not take personal checks.. because lenders and such could not get there docs there until last second.. so no time to clear a check.So then the title co  required cashiers checks.. well that went along for a while until the bad guys figured out how to forge cashiers checks.. it was really bad in Florida for instance.So then it went to wires were we are today.. and now with everyone relying on E mail. and the ability of hackers.. once the bad guys realized how much money flowed and how many to most of the folks doing this were newer it was like katy bar the door.our process since we wire every day.. is two fold request from closer and at this point we might be on deal 30 with the closer and have their coordinates.. any e mail that changes their wire.. the big one is Hey we just moved banks here is our new wire info.. that is HUGE red flag and we go into telephonic mode.. most of the closers I use I have used for many years so I know there voices..
